From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Now there are 3 competing standards Edit: 6ish accually
it is really 5 main ones now, long as i don't need Cuda down the road i'm fine with oneAPI.
Vulkan, Apple, Nvidia, Intel, AMD.
I may be missing something, but the only machine learning focused api I know of are AMD's ROCM, Nvidia's CUDA, and now Intel's oneAPI. I haven't looked into Apple's machine learning frameworks and I consider vulkan more of a general purpose api than a machine learning one.
Vulkan and Apple's Metal both have machine learning functionality.
